I am stunned. I was incredibly disappointed by Slott's ASM/SS run (though by now it's looking less bad than it was because of all the disasters that followed), but this issue was perfect. Really...
Oh my God, I just realized where the inspiration for this arc came from.
Tom Taylor - what he does with Nightwing would be great for Spider-Man. And his Friendly run had some really nice feely moments. Otherwise Mark Waid, if he's got a good idea of how he wants to tackle...
Every time you think they can't get any worse, and every time they prove you wrong.
This was dreadful. An insult to Ben Reilly, Peter Parker and Spider-Man. And the perpetrator of this heap of...
DR 5: well, that's one way of getting rid of a superfluous character.
This was an amazing issue. Friends, foes, guest stars, villains, plot progression, love and amazing, amazing art. If only half of DC's books were this good...
Best issue yet. Three excellent artists on board: Sook for the present, MAGUIRE for the Beetle flashback and Jurgens for the Booster flashback. AND Guy Gardner shows up! A real blast from the past...
Wow. What an issue. The art is among the best I've ever seen. The character work is spot on. The plot takes its time, true, but it doesn't go where you expect it to. And he had me tearing up (AGAIN -...
Slott and Spencer are equally bad. Just in different ways.
Hunted was a two-issue story stretched beyond breaking point into a dreadfully dull event. Hey, just like Sinister War!
That would be the worst thing possible. But it would sell like hotcakes - dry, badtasting hotcakes that do not fill you up in any way and ruin hotcakes for years to come, but hotcakes nevertheless.
Astounded at all the negativity here. For me, this is a great portrayal of Dick Grayson, beautiful art, an intriguing story with lots of future potential, and a nice shoutout to other Nightwing...
Excellent, excellent issue. Redondo is as great as Kevin Maguire with facial expressions and does action far better - and I'm a huge Maguire fan. Tom Taylor keeps on being the best of the new...
This was BORING. The only set-up that remotely interests me is Wally back as Flash but that will totally depend on execution. All the rest... Yawn. Either retreads of old ideas or uninteresting new...
DC has BECOME a Batman universe. I blame 'Batgod' Morrison, myself.
Sure is nice to be proven right. Spencer is messing this up big time. An entire dream issue based on a reveal everyone except Peter knows already. And which, as has been noted, you read in less than...
When the 'fill-in' issues move the story forward far more than the main series, you're in a world of trouble. This way-too-long in the making 'epic' inches forward to its conclusion, endlessly...
And it really, really, really wasn't. Except for Peter spending 10 minutes with Uncle Ben, that was sublime. But the rest? Spider-Totem? Osborn screwing Gwen??? Ugh ugh ugh.
I don't get it. When Slott ruled the roost, there was a lot of criticism and deservedly so. Now Spencer is doing work which I consider seriously substandard on every level and it's a love fest every...
So from now on putting old villains back to their more or less original status quo is the new definition of fresh comic storytelling???
Exactly, he told Joker that he had escape tools in his suit and that Joker could use them or had probably taken them. Joker says 'that's not how this works' and then goes on to prove that's exactly...
Ugh. I'm actually sorry I read this issue. Goddamned Joker (with red nail polish now? Aw PLEAZE!) stabs and stabs and stabs the Bat-God who just isn't up to stopping him. The art was so chaotic the...
So... Pete throws Osborn in the water? The mud? What exactly was supposed to be happening there??? J
Like most Spencer issues, very very meh. And really??? Referencing Sins Past???? That's just...
The entire JMS run was horrible except for a few pages where Peter got to talk to Uncle Ben at the end of a magical adventure (as most were at this time). That was really touching and well written.
